Abstract

Feng Tang*

This study presents a comprehensive performance evaluation of perforated pipes in underground drainage networks, combining field studies and modeling approaches. Perforated pipes are commonly used in subsurface drainage systems to alleviate excess groundwater and prevent waterlogging. Through field measurements and numerical simulations, this research assesses the hydraulic efficiency and long-term effectiveness of perforated pipes in various soil and hydrological conditions. The findings contribute to optimizing the design and management of underground drainage networks for sustainable water management.
